Lately I've been
obsessed with Essie On A Silver Platter. I actually picked this up
last year and posted about it. Funny enough, OASP was my last post of 2013, and now it will also be in my last post of 2014! Totally unintentional, but it was just recently that I realized what a stunner it is in nail art! I expected the glitter gold base to be a bit sheer/sparse, but it appears gloriously here on top of Essie Going Incognito.
This is such an easy way to add a little bit of glitter if you don't want to go full-on sparkle. Paint 2-3 coats of your creme polish of choice, then allow it to fully dry. You can test if it's ready by gently pressing on your nail with a finger--if it leaves even the slightest fingerprint, you should wait a little longer. Tape off triangles using washi tape or regular office tape (for regular tape, I always weaken the adhesive by gently sticking it to the back of my hand first.) Make sure there are no gaps between the tape and your nail surface, then layer on a coat of your glitter polish and remove tape immediately.
This nail look is from a few weeks ago; I already posted it to my
Instagram a while back. Unfortunately I won't be rocking any fun NYE nail art tonight as I'm battling a very ugly case of eczema on my hands D: Luckily I have quite a backlog of nail posts to keep the both of us occupied ;)
